The curriculum is great. The kids really enjoy it. I was told last year that I would be teaching computers to K-6. I am so glad I found your website! It has been a life saver. Since I purchase the curriculum out of my own pocket, I can only do it a piece at a time. Your monthly specials are really helpful on the pocketbook!
